rel-category

This article is a stub. You can help the microformats.org wiki by expanding it.

Similar to rel-tag, though typically rel-category destinations are

• chosen from an explicitly maintained taxonomy
• typically intended for the context of a single site or blog

Whereas rel-tag destinations / segments are typically open ended (no explicit taxonomy), and typically intended for use / understanding within a more global context, across sites and services (see also hashtag).

May be used with rel-tag. If a hyperlink destination / segment reflects both a tag and a category for the current blog post or page, then it makes sense to use both, e.g. with rel="category tag" on the hyperlink.
